Meet the Innovation Capitalist
In the March 2007 edition of Harvard Business Review, Satish Nambisan and Mohan Sawhney write:
Innovation capitalists are firms, often with a particular industry expertise, that seek out and evaluate ideas and technologies from the inventor community and other external sources...We foresee that innovation capitalists will play a crucial role in the next decade, much as venture capitalists did during the technology boom of the 1990s.
Evergreen IP is mentioned in the article, as are our friends at Dial and Procter & Gamble.
